Sea Turtle Epibiosis: Global Patterns and Knowledge Gaps [PDF]

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Competition for space drives many marine propagules to colonize the external surfaces of other marine organisms, a phenomenon known as epibiosis. Epibiosis appears to be a universal phenomenon among sea turtles and an extensive body of scientific ...

Effects of epibiosis on consumer-prey interactions [PDF]

Hydrobiologia, 1997
In many benthic communities predators play a crucial role in the population dynamics of their prey. Surface characteristics of the prey are important for recognition and handling by the predator.

Chemical control of bacterial epibiosis on ascidians [PDF]

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1994
Two co-occurring ascidians of the Pacific subtidal, Polyclinum planum and Cystodytes lobatus, were found to exhibit remarkably different numbers of surface bacteria. On average, epibacterial densities on P.

Marine epibiosis. II. Reduced fouling on Polysyncraton lacazei (Didemnidae, Tunicata) and proposal of an antifouling potential index [PDF]

Oecologia, 1990
Polysyncraton lacazei is a colonial tunicate (family didemnidae) living in the NW-mediterranean rocky sublitoral. A thorough scanning of numerous colonies revealed that in spite of an apparently heavy local fouling pressure only one fouling species — a ...

Epibiosis and parasitism of coquina clam Donax spp.: Location, location, location!

Invertebrate Biology, 2023
AbstractCryptic species of coquina clams Donax fossor and D. variabilis carry the hydroid epibiont Lovenella gracilis and are infected with metacercariae of the monorchiid parasites Lasiotocus trachinoti and L. choanura. The associations among this host–epibiont–parasite system were investigated.

Effect of a generalist mesopredator on modular and unitary sessile prey associated with a foundation species. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In a short‐term laboratory microcosm experiment, we assessed the effect of the mesopredator shrimp individual size on an epibenthic assemblage of red algae initially dominated by three species of modular bryozoans and a unitary serpulid tubeworm. Our findings elucidate the complex way the size structures of generalist consumers and their prey shape ...

In a squeeze: Epibiosis may affect the distribution of kelp forests. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2019
AbstractThe processes limiting the population recovery of the kelp Saccharina latissima after recent large‐scale loss from the south coast of Norway are poorly understood. Previous investigations do, however, suggest that the impacts of biotic interactions (epibiosis and competition) and increased water turbidity are important.

Review of Macropodia in the Black Sea supported by molecular barcoding data; with the redescription of the type material, observations on ecology and epibiosis of Macropodia czernjawskii (Brandt, 1880) and notes on other Atlanto-Mediterranean species of Macropodia Leach, 1814 (Crustacea, Decapoda, Inachidae) [PDF]

Zoosystematics and Evolution, 2020
Macropodia czernjawskii (Brandt, 1880), described from the Black Sea, was ignored in the regional faunal accounts for more than a century, although it was recognised in the Mediterranean. Instead, M. longirostris (Fabricius, 1775) and M.

Recurrent marine heatwaves threaten the resilience and viability of a key Mediterranean octocoral species

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 33, Issue 11, Page 1161-1174, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Long‐term ecological studies are essential for understanding the resilience of temperate reefs to ocean warming and the response of their habitat‐forming species to recurrent marine heatwaves (MHWs). This study evaluated the long‐term response (2005–2021) of the habitat‐forming octocoral Eunicella singularis (Esper, 1791) to recurrent MHWs in ...

Population status of the world's largest limpet, Scutellastra mexicana (Mollusca: Patellidae), on María Madre Island, Mexico: Possible last bastion of a species facing global extinction

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 33, Issue 10, Page 1049-1060, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Scutellastra mexicana is the largest patellid in the world, with records of up to 35.5 cm in length, and is one of the most endangered marine invertebrates from tropical Pacific rocky shores. The decline of this species occurred during the 20th century, when fishing cooperatives reported the capture of millions of specimens in less than 2 ...
